We believe that one of the kindest, most efficient, and effective ways to overcome distressing emotions and decrease/ eliminate symptoms is through EMDR Intensive Therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been widely researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR Intensive therapy is designed to accelerate the healing process by offering several therapy sessions over a short period of time. Instead of the typical weekly therapy structure, clients dedicate 1-3 days for several hours per day to focus on a particular therapeutic issue.

Situations where you might choose an EMDR Intensive include: 

• Recent upsetting events have disrupted your day-to-day functioning and you want to feel better and return to previous level of functioning faster .
• You have witnessed or experienced a disturbing or traumatic event in your life and have symptoms that bother you (ie. car accident, work related events in first responders, sexual assault, crime, traumatic medical procedure, severe injury, violence, childhood bullying, military combat, emotional abuse).
• A week-to-week therapy schedule doesn’t work for you.
• You don’t have access to a trauma therapist but are able to spend dedicated time to travel and work in a more focused and succinct way.

Benefits to using an Intensive Therapy Approach: 

• Reprocess more information in a shorter amount of time and feel better faster: Dedicate 1-3 days to focus on healing, growth, and connection.
• Cost effective: Intensives are highly concentrated and focused, sometimes requiring less time and overall cost to the client. No more weekly appointments.
• If full day appointments (6 hour sessions) are not doable, then we offer Extended sessions. Extended sessions are 2, 3 or 4 hour sessions.

Please note that EMDR intensives are offered in half, full, or multi-day session. Insurance does not cover these services. Please call Louisville Health and Healing at (502) 472-7293 to discuss rates for EMDR intensives.

Not everyone struggling with alcohol feels aligned with an all-or-nothing approach. For many high-functioning professionals, parents, or individuals under stress, alcohol becomes a coping mechanism that starts taking more than it gives.

Moderation Management offers a structured, evidence-based alternative to traditional abstinence programs. Instead of requiring complete sobriety, MM helps you examine your relationship with alcohol, identify triggers, and set realistic, sustainable goals for change — all within a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

In therapy, we work together to increase awareness, strengthen self-regulation, and build practical strategies that align with your personal and professional life. This approach empowers you to define what “healthy” looks like for you — not for anyone else.

If you’re ready to regain control, reduce negative patterns, and make intentional choices about alcohol use, our private-pay sessions provide the confidentiality and flexibility to support meaningful, lasting change.

Long-term recovery isn’t just about staying sober — it’s about building a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and sustainable. Many people completing inpatient or outpatient treatment find that everyday challenges — relationships, work stress, emotions, and identity shifts — still need support. That’s where Recovery Integration Therapy comes in.

Our therapists specialize in working with individuals in recovery who want to continue growing beyond abstinence. We understand the language, values, and principles of recovery programs while maintaining a clinical focus on emotional wellness, relapse prevention, and personal transformation.

Recovery Integration helps you:

• Navigate life transitions after treatment

• Strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills

• Rebuild confidence, relationships, and purpose

• Identify and shift patterns that can lead to relapse

• Integrate recovery principles into daily living

We have licensed professionals who are personally and professionally connected to recovery, allowing clients to feel understood and supported without judgment. Whether you’re newly sober or decades into recovery, we’ll meet you where you are and help you create lasting alignment between recovery and real life.

Identification is the antidote to loneliness.
Recovery Integration provides the safe space and skilled guidance to make sure you never have to navigate that path alone.

Addiction is a complex brain-based condition that affects how we think, feel, and connect with others. It often shows up as compulsive substance use or repetitive behaviors that continue despite negative consequences. Over time, these patterns can alter brain chemistry, cloud judgment, and create emotional instability—making change feel nearly impossible to sustain alone.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we provide private, personalized addiction therapy that focuses on recovery from the inside out. Our approach integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and practical recovery principles to help you regain control, clarity, and confidence in your life.

Therapy addresses:

• Substance use (alcohol, prescription medications, or other substances)

• Behavioral addictions (spending, eating, gambling, gaming, internet use)

• Emotional regulation, triggers, and relapse prevention

• Healing relationships damaged by addiction

• The deeper emotional or traumatic roots beneath use patterns

We understand that traditional models don’t fit everyone. Whether you’re seeking an alternative to 12-step recovery, re-engaging after treatment, or simply exploring your relationship with substances or behaviors, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space to do that work.

Addiction recovery is not about perfection—it’s about progress. With the right support, healing is not only possible, but sustainable.

Relationships can be deeply rewarding—and deeply challenging. Every couple faces moments of disconnection, conflict, or uncertainty. Whether you’re struggling to communicate, rebuild trust, or rediscover intimacy, therapy provides the space to understand one another and grow together.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we offer private couples counseling that helps partners move beyond surface conflict to uncover the patterns, triggers, and emotional histories that shape their relationship. Many of these patterns stem from early attachment experiences and life events that continue to influence how we connect, argue, and repair.

Our therapists use integrative and evidence-based approaches—drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational models—to help couples:

• Improve communication and rebuild emotional safety

• Address intimacy issues and strengthen connection

• Heal from infidelity, mistrust, or resentment

• Manage conflict without blame or withdrawal

• Reconnect with shared purpose and partnership

We welcome all couples—regardless of orientation, identity, or relationship structure—and tailor therapy to each partnership’s unique needs. Whether you’re in crisis or simply want to deepen your connection, couples therapy offers tools to build lasting understanding and renewal.

(Updated for 2025)

Though the height of the pandemic has passed, many people are still living with its emotional aftershocks. The years of uncertainty, isolation, and disruption changed how we connect, work, and feel safe in the world. For many, that lingering stress has quietly evolved into burnout, anxiety, relationship strain, and difficulty finding balance again.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we recognize that healing from the pandemic isn’t about “getting back to normal” — it’s about re-establishing connection, purpose, and emotional resilience in a world that looks different than it did before. Our therapists specialize in helping individuals, couples, and professionals navigate:

• Chronic stress, fatigue, or loss of motivation

• Anxiety about health, safety, or change

• Increased use of alcohol or coping behaviors

• Parenting and relationship stress after prolonged uncertainty

• Grief, disconnection, and emotional numbness

We offer both in-person and virtual therapy to meet you where you are. Whether you’re rebuilding routines, redefining priorities, or simply trying to feel more grounded, therapy provides a safe space to process, recover, and grow.

Five years later, it’s clear: the effects of the pandemic didn’t end when restrictions lifted — but neither did our capacity to heal. With the right support, you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Trauma is a deeply personal response to distressing experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. Whether it stems from a single event or years of chronic stress, trauma can change how the brain and body process safety, trust, and connection. Many people experience lasting effects long after the event is over — intrusive memories, anxiety, nightmares, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of emotional numbness.

At Louisville Health & Healing, our trauma therapists specialize in helping you safely process and release what’s been held inside for too long. We treat both acute and complex trauma, including childhood abuse, neglect, loss, medical trauma, and experiences of violence or betrayal. Using evidence-based and integrative approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and expressive therapies, we help clients restore balance, regulation, and meaning.

Common trauma symptoms we address include:

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

• Emotional reactivity or detachment

• Chronic anxiety or hypervigilance

• Difficulty trusting or maintaining relationships

• Physical symptoms like tension, insomnia, or fatigue

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about transforming how it lives within you. Our private-pay trauma therapy offers the confidentiality, pace, and depth needed to create lasting change. With compassionate guidance, you can reclaim your sense of safety, strength, and self.

Helping Teens Navigate Identity, Anxiety, and Emotional Growth

Adolescence is one of the most important — and most complex — stages of life.

Break Free from People-Pleasing, Overgiving, and Emotional Burnout

Codependency often hides behind care, love, or loyalty — yet it quietly drains our energy, self-worth, and boundaries. You may find yourself giving more than you have, feeling responsible for others’ emotions, or struggling to say “no” without guilt. These patterns are often rooted in early family dynamics, trauma, or relationships where you had to earn love by caretaking.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we help clients uncover and heal the deeper patterns that keep them stuck in unhealthy relationship cycles. Through individual therapy focused on emotional boundaries, self-identity, and inner healing, you can begin to reconnect with your own needs and rediscover your sense of self.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed modalities like EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and somatic and expressive therapies, helping you move beyond insight into real transformation.

We work with clients who experience:

• People-pleasing and fear of rejection

• Guilt for setting boundaries

• Emotional exhaustion or burnout

• Anxiety around others’ approval

• Difficulty trusting or letting go of control

• Cycles of resentment or dependency in relationships

Private-pay therapy offers the freedom to work on core identity and relational healing without the limitations of insurance-driven treatment plans. Together, we’ll build new ways of relating — rooted in balance, authenticity, and emotional independence.

Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.
